What Are Porcelain Veneers?
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of medical-grade ceramic that are attached to the front surfaces of teeth for an immediate smile transformation. They are individually crafted for each client, making them nearly indistinguishable from natural teeth and providing a solution for a range of cosmetic issues, including:
- Chips or cracks in teeth.
- Gaps between teeth.
- Stains or discolorations that don’t respond to whitening.
- Misshapen or misaligned teeth.
Veneers are long-lasting, resistant to stains, and mimic the light-reflecting properties of natural teeth, making them a popular choice for those looking to enhance their smile.
How Are Veneers Installed?
The process of installing veneers typically involves the following steps:
- Consultation and Planning: Your visit to Brian Homann, DDS starts with a consultation to discuss your goals and design your veneers. We will take note of which of your misshapen teeth to target and evaluate where your tooth structure can sustain a veneer.
- Tooth Preparation: Once you’re approved for dental veneers, we will prepare your teeth for this process. A small amount of enamel is removed from each chosen tooth’s surface, to accommodate the veneer.
- Impression Taking: An impression of your teeth is taken to custom-create your veneers.
- Temporary Veneers: Temporary veneers may be placed while your permanent veneers are being crafted.
- Fitting of Permanent Veneers: Once your veneers are ready, they are fitted, adjusted, and bonded to your teeth.
- Follow-Up: A follow-up visit ensures your veneers fit comfortably and meet your aesthetic expectations.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Veneers?
Ideal candidates for porcelain veneers are those looking to improve their smile’s appearance. Suitable clients typically have:
- Good overall oral health.
- Specific cosmetic goals that veneers can achieve.
- Sufficient healthy tooth enamel for veneer placement.
Veneers are a versatile treatment but may not be suitable for clients with severe dental issues like gum disease or tooth decay. A consultation at Brian Homann, DDS can determine if veneers are right for you. Once we decide you’re a good fit for porcelain veneers, typically we will go ahead and begin treatment planning.
Let’s begin your journey with the beautiful smile you’ve always desired.
Lifespan and Maintenance of Veneers
Veneers typically last anywhere from 10 to 15 years if they’re porcelain and between 4 to 8 years if they’re composite (results may vary and the expected lifespan of your veneers can decrease based on various factors).
The longevity of your veneers largely depends on how well you take care of them. Regular brushing and flossing are essential to maintain both the health of your natural teeth and the durability of the veneers.
To ensure your veneers stay in top condition, it’s important to book a regular dental appointment for examinations and cleanings. During these visits, your dentist can assess the state of your veneers and advise if any adjustments or replacements are necessary.
Veneers require routine care with a practice that specializes in cosmetic dentistry. Brian Homann, DDS is here to support you during your journey to an even better smile. Book your appointment today and see if you’re an excellent fit for veneers.
